Abstract

An application of electromagnetic cloaks to shielding the radiation and circuit parameter characteristics of an antenna from other objects and antennas in highly scattering environments has been presented. The blockage and loading effects of scatterers on an antenna can be eliminated by enclosing them in cloaks designed to operate at the transmitting frequency of the antenna. In multiple-antenna radiation environments, each antenna can be enclosed in an electromagnetic cloak, which is designed to operate at the frequencies of other antennas and become transparent at the operating frequency of the enclosed antenna.
